After you do a little bit of this and a little bit of that, you end up having done a whole lot. I’ve worked for industry giants and small start-ups. I started my own real estate business at the age of 25. I’ve traveled north, south, east and west, but proudly call Pittsburgh my home. Because of everything I’ve been blessed with, exposed to, and worked for, my interests and roles span rather wide, so use the below links to help direct you to a speedy reply.
At the moment I hold two full-time jobs. One is at Schell Games, LLC as a game artist under the wing of game industry veteran Jess Schell. My other identity these days is as a teacher in the Game Art and Design program at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I find myself with the great advantage of being able to make video games during the day and then being able to teach the very same process to my students at night. It is this compliment of skill sets that makes my time at both companies possible and so much more rewarding. Schell Games continues to expand and with that brings the financial security I’ve waited for to pursue my interest in real estate.
